00:00Aside from the price in some families,

00:02each kilo of imported rice should not reach Php 60

00:07according to the Agriculture Department.

00:09That's why we will now talk about setting a maximum suggested retail price

00:15or limitation of its price.

00:17This is Bernadette Reyes.

00:22Special and premium imported rice still reaches more than Php 60

00:27based on the monitoring of the Department of Agriculture.

00:29According to the Department of Agriculture, the price of imported rice or landed cost is only Php 43 per kilo.

00:36If the price is compatible with the price of imported rice and shipping,

00:39the price should not reach that price.

00:42The price of rice should be Php 52.

00:47So it should not reach Php 60.

00:50According to the Department of Agriculture, the most expensive well-milled rice

00:56and other 5% broken rice depend on where the country originates from.

01:00All those who sell beyond Php 45 to Php 47, are those profiteers, Sir Jason?

01:06Can the government chase them based on the new law?

01:09They can be charged under the Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage.

01:13But the price should not exceed that.

01:15The landed cost varies depending on the class and where it is imported.

01:20According to the Philippine Rice Industry Stakeholders Movement,

01:22there are members who import rice.

01:25But it is clear to them that it is expensive if the kilo of imported rice reaches Php 60.

01:30If it is a good type of rice, the price should be below Php 60.

01:36It is important for them to measure the price from the import until it reaches the buyers.

01:42Let's look at the receipts of our retailers.

01:46How much did they buy? How much is in their box?

01:49So that we can see how much is the right amount.

01:53The DA will ask the stakeholders to discuss the highest possible price for rice

01:59or maximum suggested retail price.

02:02I am just waiting for the computation.

02:04MSRP depends on the type of rice.

02:12There is a basis of computation on why the suggested retail prices should be up to here.

02:20So it is maximum.

02:21The best imported rice is up to Php 55.

02:24But what they want is Php 45.

02:27It is possible, but it is not that good.

02:30If it is high, how can we give it to them?

02:32We are pitiful.

02:34It is our fault. They earn, but we don't.

02:37According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,

02:40the price of rice is decreasing in families.

02:43And there is an indication that this will continue.

02:46They are running out of stock.

02:48We will lower the price because the price of rice is decreasing.

02:54For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Nakatuto, 24 Hours.
